Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that causes the disease toxoplasmosis. It is a very common parasitic infection in humans and other warm-blooded animals, with approximately a third of the world’s human population estimated to have been exposed to the parasite. Toxoplasmosis can be asymptomatic (no clinical symptoms) or can have more severe consequences such as congenital birth defects, eye disease, or potentially fatal toxoplasmic encephalitis in immunocompromised individuals.
